Compton questions

Are there extra charges for Compton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Sink repair in Compton without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Compton and across Wolverhampton.

What affects the price in Compton

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
